Dick Vitale is currently battling lung and liver cancer, yet he STILL took a few minutes to talk to me.
Just a remarkable human being.
He's in Des Moines for Unity Point's annual Rally Against Cancer. @KCCINews@DickieV
@HawkeyeElvis Since I can’t reply to Gretchen- I wanna say we are so proud of both Payton and Pryce! Both had tremendous seasons! I am a die hard fan (Hawkeye Grad) and am still proud of them both! Wishing them both nothing but the best moving forward!!
@ShaneTuttleNCAA This is college - sickening @NCAA must do something about the CHAOS GOING ON - how in the world can they write all about student - athletes in their NCAA manual - that is JOKE - put some rules together to end this wild Wild West
Bennett Stirtz following Iowa’s magical run to the Elite Eight:
“If you wanna be a great point guard, you should come to Iowa. If you wanna be a great player, a great big, a great shooter, come play for Iowa. This coaching staff is the best in the country, so, why wouldn’t you?”
"I'd tell these young guys to kiss my ass... This bending over for these high school kids or kids who've been in college for one year, I wish the AD and the coach would say we're not doing that." - Charles Barkley on the NIL and transfer portal situation in college athletics
"He was a hero. He was the Iowa basketball hero, and that's why we mark this date in time."
We're remembering late @IowaHoops icon Chris Street on the 33rd anniversary of his death.
Iowa OC Tim Lester was asked by a Tampa TV station why there weren't any bowl-game opt-outs for the Hawkeyes.
“They love playing together, and they couldn't imagine being out there without the guy next to him, and it's such a unbelievable bond. It's what football's supposed to be like. And I don't even think it crossed anyone's mind. We’re all going out there, we're going to go out there and play together. That's the program that coach (Ferentz) runs. And it's awesome to be a part of.”
